A section Of the report of Colonel
Lockhart to the British Government in
regard to Central Asia is of considerable
interest to American manufacturers, for
be states that guns Of American make are
sold there at prices far below British
competition, even though the latter have
the advantage Of water carriage to the
mouth Of the Indus, while the former are
subject to the cost Of land transit by the
tam Il America, with Its high wage
Of England, tho fact affords proof that
American manufacturers have mastered
z some business secrets which the British
ers have not got hold of.

Denial of the Report of Suffering in
the County.

the County.
MIDLAND, TEN, Feb. Is, 1857.
To the Editor of the Gazette
The people of Midland have rather
gracefully looked upon John Brown Of
Albany as mild sort of crank, but his
letter in Saturdays GAZETTE shows that
there is venom in his makeup.
Every statement he makes concerning
Midland is utterly false. Will he answer
these questions:
Who has eaten mule-ear rabbits and
prairie dogs
What children have sucked old bones
to satisfy hunger?
What lady died of poverty?
What widow with one child is entirely
destitute?
Whose cattle have starved to death
What family is reduced to bread and
water?
There is positively no truth nor SEM
blance of truth in what he says in relation
to these questions. Either John Brown
or some unknown Cumberland Presby-
terrain" is lying sCoundrel.
There are no doubt professional mendi-
cants who glory in last years drouth, for
it enables them TO make their begging
respectable, but it is not far for John
Brown or DR.. Cooper to take the words
Of these people and ignore the statements
of solid business men and sworn officials.
General Lane of the drouth commits
sion was here last week and ascertained
that no relief is needed.
Prosperity is evident on all fsnts at
Midland. Three new stores have opened
within the last two weeks. The contract
is nearly let for another brick building,
and everybody is contented and happy.
There is not business house in town for
rent, and only one or two dwellings. The
range is good, and stock of all kinds Is
doing we'll. The Texas and Pacific Rail
DAD is doubling the depot accofnmoda-
tions. to meet the demands of increasing
business. If people cannot make ahying
in Shackelford county, we invite thefnstB
come west. We hope John Brown will
answer the above queries for the sake of
his own reputation. MIDLAND.

COLEMAN. TEX, March 1.-The more
fortunate citizens of Coleman county last

fifty acres in wheat, looking green

had in this county. The same fortunate
citizens have recently furnished every
farmer in Coleman county, making appli-

land, taking his notes for the same, paya-

The Chicago Tribune publishes a
curious list of the events of July in
the United States by way of lllustrat-
ing the untoward influence of an alb
normally high temperature upon hu-
man blood and brain. There were
$50 murders, a great increase over
any other monthly total for many
years. There was an average of
eight suicides a day. There were
173 persons killed by railroad acct
dents, and also 200 were badly In
iured thereby. There were 293 per-
sons drowned, exceeding by 100 per
cent. the number dying in that way
in a month for many years. There
were as persons burned to death, GA
killed by lightning, 30 by powder ex-
plosions, and 80 by mine accidents.
The fire losses amounted TO fifteen
million, exceeding the totals of any
other months since the Chicago fire
seventeen years ago. When the at
mospheric temperature exceeds that
of human blood at its normal range
the resultant elevation of the latter
appears to make it a dangerous com
pound.
